I said it, and I meant it! This is arguably the most exciting organic detection to date on Mars. Check out this excellently written article (Ashley Strickland) about some incredible science done by Dr. Caroline Freissinet and the Curiosity Rover Team. cnn.com/2025/03/29/sci…..

The main instrument for the LOAR group is installed! This is an Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer. We can separate all soluble species in any sample of any kind! But we'll be focusing on prebiotic chem. This summer is going to be a blast!
